This law was passed (in NL) only some 5-7 years ago, IIRC? Because I also don't recall any "robocalls" to landlines before that time. There were the unsolicited phonecalls, but they were human, you could always request to be taken off their list and taking some basic privacy precautions I only got them very very rarely.

But I don't remember getting mass-phonecalls with pre-recorded messages, nor heard about people that did. I could be wrong, of course.
